Western Sydney Wanderers Ninja A-League head coach Robbie Hooker has named his extended squad for Sunday afternoon’s clash against Adelaide United at Wanderers Football Park.
The Wander Women are set to make their home debut for the season, aiming for a first win in front of their passionate members and fans after a hard-fought draw against Newcastle.
In a thrilling season opener in the Hunter heat, the Wanderers started strong, striking twice within the first half-hour thanks to goals from standout Sophie Harding and the returning young talent Sienna Saveska.
However, a last-minute goal in the first half gave Newcastle a lifeline, and they leveled the score in the 61st minute with a strike from Lauren Allen, resulting in the two sides sharing the points.
Now, the Wanderers turn their focus to Adelaide United, a team they faced in two tight contests last season.
The Reds claimed a narrow 1-0 victory at Wanderers Football Park, courtesy of an early penalty, while at Coopers Stadium, Adelaide staged a comeback with two quick goals in the second half to secure a 2-1 win.
The Wanderers will be eager to reverse last season’s results and clinch a decisive win on home soil.
